When you're servicing HVAC systems, automotive A/C, or refrigeration units, the recovery machine you carry needs to pull both vapor and liquid refrigerant quickly while protecting the compressor from high pressure. Two 3/4 HP portable options sit close in price but take slightly different paths to that goal: the VEVOR Portable 3/4 HP Refrigerant Recovery Machine at USD 339.99 and the 3/4 HP Portable Refrigerant Recovery Machine from VIV0HOME at USD 309.99. The VEVOR brings a precision pressure gauge, filter screen and dryer, and an included accessory bundle; the VIV0HOME brings an oil-less air-cooled piston compressor, dual-stage filtration, and auto shut-off.
Quick Verdict
If you want the lower listed price and an oil-less air-cooled piston compressor with dual-stage filtration, the VIV0HOME is the pick. If you prefer the VEVOR-branded unit with a pressure gauge, filter/dryer protection, and listed accessories, the VEVOR is worth its higher listed price.

Product Notes
VEVOR Portable 3/4 HP Refrigerant Recovery Machine
The VEVOR unit is built around a 3/4 HP brush motor and is rated for vapor and liquid refrigerant recovery with high-pressure protection at 558 PSI / 38.6 bar. Its precision pressure gauge gives you a clear read on the line, and the intake port uses a filter screen and dryer to block impurities while the exhaust port removes moisture. Overcurrent protection helps guard against excessive current. The listing also includes a short pipe, filter, power cord, and filter O-ring, so the package covers basic hookup needs. The trade-off is the higher listed price of USD 339.99 and a 29.5 lb weight, making it the heavier of the two machines.
3/4 HP Portable Refrigerant Recovery Machine (VIV0HOME)
This VIV0HOME model pairs a 3/4 HP oil-less, air-cooled, piston compressor with dual-stage filtration. That oil-less design means no compressor oil to manage, and the air-cooled setup keeps the unit running during recovery sessions. It delivers vapor and liquid refrigerant recovery, and the 558 PSI high-pressure protection includes auto shut-off to stop the compressor when pressure gets too high. The listed applications cover HVAC, air conditioning, refrigeration service, and automotive A/C, and the dimensions come in at 15.7 x 9.8 x 14.0 inches. The bigger draw is the USD 309.99 listed price, USD 30 less than the VEVOR. If you're after a capable, lower-priced recovery machine, this is the one.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the VIV0HOME if your priority is the lower listed price, an oil-less air-cooled piston compressor, dual-stage filtration, and auto shut-off at 558 PSI. Choose the VEVOR if you want a filter screen and dryer on the intake/exhaust path, a precision pressure gauge, an included short pipe and filter, and you don't mind paying USD 30 more. Both are 3/4 HP portable machines handling vapor and liquid refrigerant recovery.
